CLARIFICATION - please help correct this misunderstanding if you saw this on other lists. The WorldConnect at RootsWeb, is NOT the same as the one at Ancestry.com (although it's basically the same idea)http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/ You may have seen this note earlier and it applies ONLY to Ancestry.com system. It is my understanding that this system was also in place when it first began, although I've not participated in it, so am not sure. ================================ If you submitted a family tree to Ancestry.com (or MyFamily.com) for free viewing by researchers, that's all about to change. Later this month Ancestry plans to begin charging researchers to view your trees. If you don't want that, you'll have to remove your tree. Go to: http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/trees/owt/ Click on "What's a Preview" Scroll down to #3: Have you already submitted a family tree? Click on "view our checklist" A few lines down you will see: "If for any reason you do not want your tree to be part of the new OneWorldTree service, you must delete it from the Ancestry World Tree database by tentatively May 21, 2004." There are instructions for removing your tree: http://ancestry.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/ancestry.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1090
